IM 50! AInt That NIFTY?! A poem by SUBWAYSURFER

I’m 50! Aint that NIFTY?By Elgin Bolling

I’m 50! Aint that NIFTY?Jumped outta this bed this morning in a Jiffy!Took a shower, put on powder, don’t I look “Spiffy?!”

It’s my BIRTHDAY TODAY! YEA!!!!! My wife kissed me!My dog wagged his tail, and then, he licked me!I looked in my mirror, see,Felt my head in the back and said, Gee, Looks like some of my hair’s started to FLEE!It’s getting harder to SEE, to some DEGREE, without my glasses on ME….

My abs are GONE.But my stomach’s been set FREE!Sometimes it appears to be ….Leading Me….

My kids make my chestSwell with PRIDESo Glad my wife signed on for the RIDEThis is for LIFE

Honey, Im SO GRATEFULThat you are my WIFEI know you married me To be POLITE!But thanks for sharing the joy and STRIFE.

And yet there’s so much MORE to COMENext YEAR this TIME….I”LL BE FIFTY ONE!!!

Well it's the Big Five OH!!! today. In commemoration of the day, I wrote this poem especially for the BIG DAY. I read this at an awesome party my wife threw last week for me that included food, family, fun, singing... I get choked up just thinking about it.This caricature of me was done by one of my guests fellow artist, Laurie Edmonds.

LET ME DRAW AT YOUR NEXT PARTY!
